Introduction: Specialized food products (SFP) such as PlumpyNut, Sup Plumpy and Corn Soya Blend are unequally distributed in
areas with high prevalence of malnutrition in Ivory Coast. Services providing these products often experience shortages that not only
endanger children who are undergoing nutritional treatment and especially those who should have access to them. One of the reasons
for these breaks is the shortage of the raw materials necessary for the manufacture of these products. The diversification of these raw
materials is therefore a way to explore. This study aims to evaluate the nutritional performance of diets based on local products in the
nutritional management of malnourished rats.
Material and methods: The experiment was carried out in two stages: Rats are fed for 10 days with the "Anagobaka" to induce
malnutrition. The nutritional rehabilitation of the malnourished rats was then carried out, for 21 days, with different regimes:
Plumpynut control, Soybean maize (SOMA), Rice fish (POIRI), Pistachio rice (PIRI), Cowpea soybean millet (NISOMI), Cowpea
soybean sorghum (NISOSO). At the end of the experiment, dry matter intake (DMI), total intake protein (TIP), weight gain (WG),
Food Efficiency Factor (FEF) and protein coefficient of the different regimes are determined and compared with one another.
Results: The MSI of the diets varied between 7.01 ± 0.93 and 5.45 ± 0.16 g/d. The highest MSI value was observed in SOMA and the
lowest in PIRI. No significant difference (p>0.05) was observed between POIRI, PIRI, NISOSO, NISOMI and plumpynut for MSI.
Protein ingestion levels of SOMA, POIRI, NISOSO, control, NISOMI and PIRI ranged from 1.04 ± 0.43 to 0.83 ± 0.2 g/d. The control
diets, POIRI, NISOSO, NISOMI and PIRI showed no significant difference (p>0.05). The malnourished rats submitted to the different
rehabilitation regimes have all regained weight. The growth performances of the registered SOMA, POIRI, Control, PIRI, NISOMI
and NISOSO regimes were respectively 2.82, 0.73 g/d; 2.69, 70.85 g/day; 2.64 ± 0.61 g/d; 2.03 ± 0.48 g/d; 1.99 ± 0.72 g/d and 1.89 ±
0.29 g/d. The mean weight gain of the diets showed no significant difference compared to the control (p>0.05). The Food Efficiency
Factor for diets varied between 0.45 ± 0.05 and 0.33 ± 0.06 while PEs ranged from 2.90 ± 0.11 to 2.05 ± 0.39. The control diets, POIRI
and SOMA showed no significant difference for the FEF and for the PEC (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The DMI, TPI, WG, FEF and PEC have allowed the evaluation of the growth performance of malnourished rats under
different regimes. The results indicate that experimental diets have similar or even better performances than plumpynut. The most
efficient regime is soybean maize (SOMA). Further studies are needed to verify whether the consumption of these diets has no
pathological consequences for the regulating organs of nutrition.
